KARACHI: The Pakistan Medical Association (PMA) has strongly condemned the issuance of arrest warrants against 267 employees of the Sindh Health Department by Returning Officer (RO), PC-110 South. These employees allegedly did not attend their election duties. The association has deemed this act as unjust and unreasonable.
Hon. Secretary General, Pakistan Medical Association (Centre), Dr Abdul Ghafoor Shoro believes that issuing arrest warrants is very unjust and excessive. The concerned authorities should immediately withdraw the warrants issued against healthcare professionals.
He stresses upon authorities to avoid assigning election duties to healthcare providers. We are extremely concerned about the impact this could have on the already strained healthcare system in Sindh.
Dr Shoro emphasized the dedication and commitment of healthcare professionals in serving the public and stated that they deserve respect and appreciation for their tireless efforts. We urge the authorities to address the issue in a fair and just manner, taking into consideration the challenging circumstances faced by healthcare workers.
He also appealed to the government and relevant authorities to ensure the safety, security, and well-being of healthcare professionals, especially during these testing times.
